Unsurfaced unclassified roads (green lanes) Broadly speaking, these are the rights of way marked as a line of green dots on modern Ordnance Survey maps. Whether outside or inside the National Park, they are the responsibility of North Yorkshire County Council’s highways department. Contact them online [click here]

In all cases, please send details to info@danbydistrictbridlewaysgroup.co.uk as well, so that we can coordinate action on long term problems – and let us know how you get on with resolving your reported problem.
